Common share warrants

On May 27, 2021, the Board declared a distribution of warrants to purchase its common shares (the “Warrants”) to holders of the Company’s common shares. Holders of Nabors common shares received two-fifths of a warrant per common share held as of the record date (rounded down for any fractional warrant). Nabors issued approximately 3.2 million Warrants on June 11, 2021 to shareholders of record as of June 4, 2021. As of June 30, 2024, 2.5 million Warrants remain outstanding and 1.1 million common shares have been issued as a result of exercises of Warrants.

Each Warrant represents the right to purchase one common share at an initial exercise price of $166.66667 per Warrant, subject to certain adjustments (the “Exercise Price”). Payment of the exercise price may be in (a) cash or (b)“Designated Notes,” which at this time consists of the Company’s 7.25% Notes due 2026, subject to compliance with applicable procedures with respect to the delivery of the Warrants and Designated Notes. The Exercise Price and the number of common shares issuable upon exercise are subject to anti-dilution adjustments, including for share dividends, splits, subdivisions, spin-offs, consolidations, reclassifications, combinations, noncash distributions, cash dividends (other than regular quarterly cash dividends not exceeding a permitted threshold amount), certain pro rata shares repurchases, and similar transactions, including certain issuances of common shares (or securities exercisable or convertible into or exchangeable for common shares) at a price (or having a conversion price) that is less than 95% of the market price of the common shares. The Warrants expire on June 11, 2026, but the expiration date may be accelerated at any time by the Company upon 20-days’ prior notice. The Warrants are traded on the over-the-counter market.

The Warrants are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40. Accordingly, the Company recognizes the Warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair

value is recognized in the Company’s statement of operations. On June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of the Warrants was approximately $16.3 million and $25.9 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, approximately $3.9 million and $9.6 million of gain has been recognized for the change in the liability and included in Other, net in our consolidated statements of income (loss), respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, approximately $17.9 million and $52.2 million of gain has been recognized for the change in the liability and included in Other, net in our consolidated statements of income (loss), respectively.
